The Chennai-born Gujarat Titans batting sensation breached the 1000-run mark in his 25th innings surpassing former Mumbai Indians captain Sachin Tendulkar and Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad.
He reached the massive milestone in the 11th over of the innings after Gaikwad called it right at the toss and inserted the Titans to bat first. Overall, Sudharsan is joint-third with Matthew Hayden on the list for batters with the fewest innings to 1000 IPL runs behind Shaun Marsh (21), Lendl Simmons (23).
Gujarat Titans bagged Sai Sudharsan for just Rs. 20 lakh in the 2022 auction. The batter played five games and scored 145 runs. In the 2023 season, Sudharsan scored 362 runs in just eight games at an average of over fifty.
